This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

50,000.00 | 2 | -- | Technology, Journalism | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/4539 | -- | Grant period: 01/01/2009 - 12/31/2009; goal: To identify and recognize the best producers of content on Twitter by sponsoring the Shorty Awards Twitter has emerged as a powerful new medium. It combines the features of blogs, instant messages and e-mail. It’s short-form, personal nature offers opportunities for journalists, groups, nonprofits, governments, companies and individuals to communicate in ways distinct from other digital media. It is particularly suited for brief status updates, and seems useful for breaking news. A contest would provide a systematic way to discover or recognize who’s doing the best job of non-fiction work on Twitter. This grant creates the Shorty Awards. (In its first year, the award drew 50,000 entries). It is expected to become an annual event, with the number of participants growing every year. It is hoped that the winners of the first awards will inspire more journalists and others to use Twitter or similar services. |
